</p><ol><li>Data Sources and Quality. We have drawn these figures from administrative
IT systems which, as with some large-scale recording systems, are subject to possible
errors with data entry and processing</li><li>The NPS and CRCs are required to complete
reviews on any eligible offender who has been charged with (including attempted or
conspiracy to commit offences): murder manslaughter, other specified offences causing
death, rape or assault by penetration, or a sexual offence against a child under 13
years of age.</li><li>Data provided for offences should in italics are “conditional”
reviews completed by the NPS only when an offender has been assessed as high risk
of harm during the current sentence.</li><li>Not all SFO notifications result in the
completion of a reviews as charges can be reduced or dropped. Not every offender charged
with a SFO is convicted.</li><li>The data represents SFO charges and not a unique
count of offenders.</li></ol><p> </p><p>You have also asked for what reason the figures
on the number of offenders convicted of murder, who at the time they committed the
offence were being supervised on a life licence between 2016 and 2018 are different
from the figures for offenders released from a life sentence for murder who went on
to commit another murder while on life licence in the same period.</p><p> </p><p>The
figures in PQ 267272 relate to the number of offenders being supervised on life licence,
not restricted to those on life licence for a mandatory life sentence for the offence
of murder, charged in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 and subsequently convicted of
murder.</p><p> </p><p>The corresponding figures stated in PQ 292174 are lower because
they refer to the number of offenders released in 2016, 2017 and 2018 on life licence
following a conviction for murder who have since been convicted of another murder.</p>
